Featured review
The King Lives On!
Marking the very first collaboration between John Carpenter & Kurt Russell, Elvis is a thoroughly fascinating made-for-television biopic that chronicles the life & career of one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, and is bolstered by a kinetic, convincing & memorable performance from Russell who brings the 'King of Rock & Roll' to cinematic life from inside out.
